Thank the FDA for Approving Plan B!

Finally, after 3 years of dragging their feet and over 141,000 letters from PetitionSite signers, the FDA has made Plan B - the "morning-after-pill" - available to women without a prescription!

Add your name to the letter below to thank the FDA for voting on the side of the hundreds of thousands of women who asked for better access to Plan B.

This victory shows that your actions DO make a difference.

Support a woman's right to choose! Sign the petition to show the FDA that you're paying attention and that you support their vote for science over politics!

Uh, yeah. It makes perfect sense to require a prescription for regular birth control pills, but not for a much higher dose of the same drug. It's also great that men can pick up the drug and give it to any teenagers they knock up.

Men can pick up alcohol and give it to teenagers too, should we not allow that to be sold?

 

And Huck magically appears out of the sooper sekrit peanut gallery!

 

Men actually consume alcohol. They'll never buy this drug for themselves.

You also ignored my point about regular BC pills.

 

Right, because teenaged girls and men would NEVER have sex if this weren't available.....*rolling eyes very heavily*

 

You're right, sugmag. In fact, I think, in the history of the world, NO guy over the age of 18 has EVER had sex with a 17 year old girl, Hell, now they'll all be goin at it like rabbits.

Damn that freedom Bush is always talking about the "Terrorists" "hating" so much, damn it all.

Really, if that is the best Red Herring the Right can come up with, they really are slipping........and rightfully so.........

 

What about 25-year-old men and 15-year-old girls? Should concealing such statutory rape be facilitated?

And, I'll ask yet again, what about the fact that regular BC pills require a prescription?

 

you dont really need a prescription for birth control pills. clinics like family planning offer them for a very low price and you dont need parental permission. thank god for places like that.

 

I'm sure God is just thrilled about this . . .

 

why not? im sure he would be proud of young women being responsible. besides if god is such a conservitive republican wouldnt he be happy that the number of abortions would be decreased? cuz you know birth control and plan b decrease the number of abortions.

 

First, "Plan B" is also an early abortifacient. Second, it is hardly "responsible" to give powerful hormones to young teens behind their parents' backs.

 

you know your right. i dont need to have any say of what i do with my own body. no woman does. we should just leave these decisions in the hands of other people, especially men. because afterall they're the ones who will be pregnant for nine months and then have to raise a child.

yes giving birth control to teens is such a bad idea. cuz you know what we need? more teen pregnancy!!

 

HuckFinn, do you support comprehensive sexual education and fertility awareness education for every teenager?

 

werd sista!

I have always found it ironic how men pass these laws and preach about why they are right, but he could up and leave and leave the mama and baby to fend for themselves.

I don't want my tax dollars to be spent on supporting teenaged pregnancies. end of story.

btw, hippyfreak, the pic of your baby is soooo cute!

 

I have never had sex without a condom and I have taken Morning-After Pill once when I was 18 years of age. I was on oral birth control at the time, and one night when I was having sex with my year and half long boyfriend, the condom broke. My boyfriend couldn't be 100% sure if he came or not. We both talked about it - and decided that we would go into a woman's clinic and talk about the Morning-After Pill with a doctor. We both made the decision that we would prefer that I take the Morning-After Pill, just in case.

What gives anybody the right to think that they have any reason to intervene into my situation, or anybody else's? What one discusses with one's doctor is private as far as I'm concerned - and is of no business of anyone.

Saying that a woman should not be allowed to make a decision to have an aborted cluster of cells before they are implementated into her womb because she should have known better, is the same thing as saying that a person who hurt themselves while working on the job should not receive morphine because they also should have known better.

I know, the fat person with heart failure should not receive a heart transplant because they should have known better and made 'better' decisions.

People make mistakes both intentionally and unintentionally. And the choices that we as a people whatsoever choose to make amends for those mistakes should be and are ours alone to rectify.

*rants*

 

Exactly what I was thinking. Keep your laws off my body.

 

That totally depends on how it's presented. I do not support the Planned Parenthood "if it feels good, do it" approach.

You don't want mothers to have to fend for themselves, but you don't want to help support them?

Nobody's proposing to ban these pills. The main question has been whether a prescription should be required, which is the only way to ensure that a doctor is involved in the process. The other debate is whether pharmacists who want no part in killing human embryos should be forced to dispense a potentially abortifacient drug.

 

But do you support laying it all on the table to teens? That they have organs, how they are used, each person's rights and responsibilities before, during, and after the act of sex, and the possible birth control methods that can be used?

 

Darling if I need to make an appointment to speak with my doctor, I have to wait at least a week to do so before he is able see me.

That is why it makes perfect sense to keep this drug just behind a pharmacist's counter.
